Why did desegregation of Southern schools become a major problem in the USA in the 1950’s?
In America in the 1950’s American schools were segregated into all white and all black schools. They were taught separately and the black schools had limited funds in comparison to the white schools. Many whites in the southern schools still believed blacks should be segregated after the civil war. The black people had to fight for freedom. The aftermath of the civil war lead to segregation.
